Tweet Science
…what it still is is a gold mine without, as yet, any sure way of getting the gold. And if too much dreck pours in, in the way of self-promoting tweets and obtrusive advertising, the gold may be lost forever. For Twitter, it’s a hazardous paradox. As Ashton Kutcher recently said, “There’s a danger of it becoming spammy, and that’s what really hurt MySpace … If Twitter doesn’t apply the proper filters, it’ll be harder to find the information you want. With Facebook, I’m probably not going to get spammed from my aunt or my best friend.”
Isn’t the greater argument that this dude’s aunt and/or best friend’s *general day to day activities* broadcast back through Facebook could easily cross the “spam” line? This seems short-sighted about both Twitter and Facebook’s (or any social network’s) potential junk-mail flame out.
